United Kingdom.: Palgrave Macmillan.. 2011.. Black and white photographic illustrations, xii + 192pp, appendices, notes, bibliography, index, hardback, very good. Thriving on its long-term collective memory of possessing futurity, the mega city of Shanghai on the Eastern seaboard of China is once more jockeying for the position as Asia's foremost modern place. An essential part of the regeneration of contemporary Shanghai has been the return, not only of foreign direct investment, but of 'Westerners' to the city since the 1990s. Contributing to current debates about the globality and mediatization of memories, Lagerkvist critically interrogates Shanghai's spectacular resurrection into an emergent world center from the vantage point of how Western elites (tourists, expatriates and travel bloggers) partake in the production of New Shanghai. Through performances of memory, Westerners consume the regenerative nostalgia of the city. This book shows that these mediatized memory practices become essential for the city and tie in with how the municipal government (in tandem with international scriptings of the city in for example films and travel journalism) is currently theming Shanghai by situating memories of futures past and visions for the future in a coherent narrative and sensory-emotive realm of experience. ., Palgrave Macmillan., 2011., 0, London.: Sidgwick & Jackson.. 1995.. Black and white map, black and white photographic illustrations, xii + 15-420pp, "Printed in Great Britain" label attached to copyright leaf with some subsequent browning on title, dedication and blank, dustjacket a little worn at extremities, otherwise good hardback copy. "In his book Into China Claude Roy gives us far and away the most intelligent and readable and certainly the only witty account that has yet been presented of this new China. A prominent figure in the post-ear French literary world, a poet and critic well on the left, Roy has also lived in England and lectured at an American University: his understanding of and sympathy for contemporary China gains in universality from his personal identification with the main stream of Western culture." - Dustjacket blurb. ., Sidgwick & Jackson., 1995., 0, United Kingdom.: Quercus.. 2010.. Maps, black and white photographic illustrations, xvi + 234 pages, index, bibliography, notes, dustjacket. Scholar, philosopher and political sage, Confucius lived at a turbulent time in his country's history, the so-called 'Spring and Autumn Period of the sixth century BC, during which China was wracked by warfare between rival feudal states. Against this backdrop he developed a system of social and political behaviour that he hoped could be used to create harmony and peace throughout the land. The teachings of Confucius attracted a large number of pupils, but were largely ignored by the rulers of China's various kingdoms. As a result, he did not see his philosophical teachings applied during his lifetime. After his death, however, his teachings were kept alive by his followers, and within a few centuries, his philosophy (as outlined in The Analects, which record the words and acts of Confucius and his disciples) was adopted by China's rulers and became the foundation for Chinese government, education and social structure. Beyond its profound influence on the culture and history of East Asia, Confucianism has also exerted a powerful fascination for western thinkers and philosophers.Meher McArthur's accessible and thoughtful biography not only traces the outline of her subject's life, but also examines why Confucius and his teachings are still relevant today. ., Quercus., 2010., 0, Netherlands.: Kluwer Academic Publishers Group.. 1992.. xiv + 276pp, index, notes, paperback, some wear to covers, sunning to spine and spine area, name half-title, good copy. "A collection of papers on philosophy of science, conceptual history of science, and sociology of science written by Taiwanese scholars. Some of the essays included show Orientals study topics that are typically Western philosophy of science; others show how traditional topics in the history of Chinese science (mathematics, optics and geology) could be studied with high sensitivity to the philosophy and sociology of science. It also touches upon issues of the "autonomous" development of social sciences in Taiwan, a society whose academic researchers are greatly influenced by the West. This work should be of interest to scholars of philosophy of science, philosophy of language and psychology, history of Chinese science, history of science in East Asia and history of mathematics."

Retrospective collection of the artist/photographer's collage-photographs. Limited Edition of 2500 copies. The first and only edition. This is the second of the first two catalogs on his work ever published. The Limited Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by John O'Reilly and Allan Weller: Regular-sized volume format.

The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition held at Howard Yezerski Gallery Boston in 1999. Presents John O'Reilly's "Occupied Territories: Works From 1967-1999". Showcases some of his finest and most representative works from a thirty-plus-year period. Best-known for his meticulously produced collages, O'Reilly's underlying preoccupation as an artist/photographer is the idea of artistic heritage and its impact on a contemporary artist's identity, his place ("lineage") in art history, and his sexuality. The artist regards the great Western artistic tradition as inescapable, and so he appropriates and comments on it, wittily, outrageously, and brilliantly. O'Reilly has done for male nude photography what Todd Walker did for the female nude. While the two artists could not be more different in every conceivable way, they do have two things in common: An erudite knowledge of and preoccupation with Western art history and a passion for the nude (exclusively female in Walker's case; exclusively male in O'Reilly's). The collection ends with six stunning collage-photographs, all entitled "To Patrick (1975-1997) " , a twenty-two year old victim of AIDS, gone much too soon, evoked in full-frontal nudes that collide with great works of art of the past. "Alluding to countless classical, literary, and art-historical sources, O'Reilly seems to be rooting around in civilization's ruins and rearranging them into fragile but enduring monuments to the restorative power of the imagination" (The New Yorker Magazine). The very first full-length book on John O'Reilly, "Assemblies of Magic", finally appeared in 2002. An absolute "must-have" title for John O'Reilly collectors. <b><i> This copy is one of the Limited Edition of 2500 copies. This title is now collectible.
